Julie here… now it’s time to drop some knowledge. I've been researching Huntington's for a couple of months now, ever since I decided that I wanted to start a family and had the H-bomb dropped on me.
Is everybody ready for this? It’s probably going to be pretty boring, and it’s taken me quite a while to go through it and understand it all, so I’m going to break it down really simply and see what you guys think! I’m also going to include Wikipedia links to the things that have interesting histories and whatever, or that I can’t fully explain without going into a LOT of (sometimes boring) detail.
I’ll start with the causes and delve into a lot of depth. I’ve been consulting with the son of a friend of mine, he is in a genetics class at UNC right now and he’s been helping me understand some of these things. Well, let’s get to it!
